The Toronto Maple Leafs continue to navigate through injuries.
Forward Colton Sissons was placed on injured reserve retroactive to Nov. 8 due to a lower-body injury, while fellow forward Brendan Brisson was recalled from the AHL's Toronto Marlies, the team announced Thursday.
Sissons suffered the injury on Sunday in a loss to the New Jersey Devils and missed the third period of that game. The 33-year-old joined the Maple Leafs as a free agent this summer and had appeared in 19 games for the team, scoring two goals and six points. He was previously listed as week-to-week before being placed on IR.
Brisson, 24, is the son of NHL agent Pat Brisson, who has two clients on the Maple Leafs: John Tavares and Gavin McKenna.
The younger Brisson played in the New York Rangers organization last season, collecting one assist in three games with the NHL club and 37 points (19 goals, 18 assists) in 66 contests with the AHL's Hartford Wolf Pack.
Brisson has yet to make his Maple Leafs debut, spending the season with the Marlies. He's made 14 appearances this year, racking up eight goals and nine assists.
In 27 career NHL games with the Vegas Golden Knights, Brisson has two goals and seven assists.
The Los Angeles native was selected 29th overall by the Golden Knights in the 2020 draft and represented the U.S. in the 2022 Olympics.
